Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: six checks at the point nearest 500 ft above the runway after the base turn. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,018 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,018 m of the 3,742 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 797 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP) played host to a successful departure of an Embraer E195 aircraft, which initiated its takeoff roll on runway 13R. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 136 kt, achieving lift-off in a distance of 1,519 meters, which represented 51% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 2 kt from a direction of 67°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
Following a right-hand pattern entry from runway 13R, the aircraft navigated the traffic pattern with precision, completing the downwind turn in a distance of 6 nautical miles at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway. The subsequent base leg turn was executed with equal finesse, with the aircraft aligning itself for a final approach to runway 31R from the south-east. The approach was characterized by a heading of 315.0° and an altitude of 28 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 125 kt, with a touchdown rate of -75 fpm, which was deemed excellent. The touchdown point was located 382 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the total landing distance was 1,938 meters, representing 52% of the available runway length.
The aircraft's performance during the landing phase was notable, with a runway touchdown alignment that was very good. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centreline. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the aircraft utilized 368 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted approximately 6 minutes. Overall, the flight was executed with precision and efficiency, demonstrating the capabilities of the Embraer E195 aircraft in a variety of operational scenarios.
The aircraft touched down on runway 31R at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed was also well-managed, with the aircraft touching down at 135 kt, a speed that was within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was 382 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run, but the touchdown speed of 125 kt was good, and the touchdown rate of -75 fpm was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision.
The approach quality was good, with the aircraft maintaining a stable and controlled descent throughout the final approach. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft aligning well with the centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 2 kt at 67 °, contributed to a smooth and stable approach. The total landing distance of 1,938 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range.
The rollout phase was slightly marred by a misalignment of 8.5 meters from the centerline, which resulted in a score of 93.7% for the overall landing. Despite this minor deviation, the aircraft's performance during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases was generally good, demonstrating a high degree of skill and control.
